MMIGRATION LAW, PER CURIAM

Gonzales v. Thomas, No. 05–552 (U.S.S.C. April 17, 2006)

A judgment in an asylum case holding that a particular family fell within the scope of the statutory term "particular social group" and was persecuted on that basis is vacated where the "ordinary 'remand' rule" should have been applied since an agency had not yet considered whether the family presented the kind of "kinship ties" that constitute a "particular social group."
